Matcha accessed Dou Yin on the cell phone and showed a few videos to the small girl.

Zhao Yao asked, “Did you attract her attention?”

Matcha noticed the small girl gazing at the cell phone emotionlessly. He meowed and replied, “No, Zhao Yao, no reaction at all.”

“Try showing her cartoons.”

“What about variety shows?”

“What about silly photographs? Show her your collection of silly photographs.”

Matcha said, “Since when do I have a collection of silly photographs?”

“Isn’t there a stash in your bag of emoticons? Show her…”

After trying to get her to react for half a day, the small girl still did not have any reaction. She looked at Matcha and the cell phone as though she was looking through the air and they felt hopeless.

“Normal methods are useless.”

Zhao Yao pondered and said, “Let Doll setup the game visor for her. Perhaps, she’s more willing to communicate in her dreams.”

Moments later, the girl entered Closers World. When she saw Zhao Yao, he pulled her into the Dreams within Dreams.

“I’ll let you have free reign and see what you want…”

Zhao Yao entered her dreamscape which dark and empty. As he thought her mind was blank, light rays lit up.

Numerous quarantine bags were stacked together with countless small little girls floating within them. Their eyes were closed and they were serene.

The white-haired little girl, who was brought in by Zhao Yao, looked at the scene and smiled. She leaped gently and reached the highest quarantine bag. She squirmed into the bag, hugged her retracted legs tightly and closed her eyes serenely.

Zhao Yao thought, “She preferred the original laboratory environment? Is she afraid or unable to adjust to a strange environment?”

“As a living person, isn’t she curious? Isn’t she looking forward to freedom?”

Zhao Yao decided to accelerate the time in the dreamscape as she only had seven days of lifespan.

He could communicate with her and extend her lifespan in the dreamscape using time acceleration.

Sounds were heard coming below his feet.

Two cats strolled along as they checked the small girls in the canisters.

Zhao Yao’s eyes lit up. “Yes, though she had no emotion and was unwilling to communicate she had beautiful memories of the laboratory and the various characters and their conversations in the dreamscape. This is the information I would have obtained if she was able to communicate.”

Zhao Yao overheard the conversation of the two Long Fur cats.

The black cat said, “Is 1003 activated?”

The white cat said, “It’s too contrived. With the current usage, it’ll be wasted in a month’s time. It’s better if we use her for research.”

Zhao Yao stood beside the two cats and stroked his chin. “I’m able to understand them? No, this is a dreamscape and it conveys meaning instead of actual sounds. Does this mean that the small girl understood the language of Long Fur cats?”

Both the cats proceeded up the stairs. At every level, they checked the surveillance monitors and ensured everything was in order before continuing upwards.

The black cat checked the surveillance monitors as he said, “The burden on them is too great. I’m afraid this batch is not going to last. We haven’t mastered the critical synthesis technology.

Both the black and white cat vanished.

Moments later, a group of Long Fur cats appeared in front of the white-haired girl as if they were observing and talking about her.

“How’s 1002 doing?”

“The body statistics are stable and the condition after the synthesis is good. The awareness is sealed so there is no worry of the escape tendency of 1001.”

“Get ready for the next step in the plan. The Blood of God is running out. Hope that we’re still in time.”

Zhao Yao looked at the group’s behavior and thought, “What is the Blood of God? For the Long Fur Tribe who can travel star systems and inhabit foreign planets, what kind of things… have the criteria to be labelled as God?”

They stopped talking for a while and vanished like mist in the dreamscape.

Footsteps were heard coming from above.

Zhao Yao floated towards the footsteps.

On a large surgery theater, a large meatball expanded and contracted like a pumping heart.

A few Long Fur cats gathered around the surgery theatre and they smiled excitedly.

“Success. The Blood of God is working.”

“The heartbeat’s too fast! The heart’s failing… No, the burden’s too much!”

“There’s a rejection reaction. He’s eating her!”

A few Long Fur cats operated the surgery equipment in shock. Strange equipment was stuck into the meatball as it started quivering and bleeding.

With the shrill screams of the cats, the scene vanished like a mist.

Zhao Yao frowned and started guessing. “Are those little girls created from the Blood of God? It seems the Long Fur cats have not mastered the use of the Blood of God. What exactly is that?”

“According to what they said, the small little girl is autistic. Is it due to her awareness being sealed? How did they do that?”

Zhao Yao heard sounds of quarreling coming from above.

“We’ve failed. The life of 1002 is failing and she won’t last for long.”

“Let’s do our last bit! Unseal her awareness, perhaps she has a chance to live!”

“Do you know what you are saying? Did you remember how much damage was caused by 1001’s escape? Humans cannot enter this laboratory and they cannot have any related superpower. This is the difference between cats and humans. That’s the baseline.”

“But…”

“No buts. Before she dies, she’s still an important asset.”

Zhao Yao floated past the quarreling parties and arrived at the highest level of the dreamscape. He felt a strange energy swirling in front of him and he was unable to venture deeper.

“Is that an awareness seal? Is this the energy for the seal?” Zhao Yao’s eyes lit up. “Is she intentionally leading me to help her? Why didn’t she tell me directly?”

“Dreams are the manifestation of the subconscious. Did they seal her awareness in her subconscious so that she is unable to control her body? So she led me in her dream?”
